Actually I think it's abit of both that operated on Delaware Ave and nearby. I do know that there's some trackage on Washington Ave as well. Remember both the Reading and the B&O were allies against the PRR. |

I have seen old trolley tracks for the 7 and 48 at 23rd and Brown when they would repave the streets since both us routes were once trolley routes of course. |

On Saturday evening I drove along Spruce Street in the westbound direction. They are "repaving" Spruce Street, I believe between 42nd & 45th Streets. On the westbound side, I spotted some rail underneath the asphalt. The 42 used to be a streetcar line that COULD HAVE been re-routed into the surface car tunnel along with the 10, 11, 13, 34 & 36. PTC decided otherwise and on September 8-10, 1956, PTC made the 42 a bus line, ending streetcar service along Chestnut Street forever. In 1957, street crews paved the intersection of 46th & Spruce Streets. |
